This is the most insane paper I've ever read and I wanted to share it. They're taking after the UK in fascism I see.

Using Smartphone GPS Data to Detect the Risk of Adolescent Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors - PubMed

Advancements in smartphone technology afford unique opportunities to capture affective and behavioral dynamics that presage suicide risk. This case series study found that greater homestay obtained through smartphone GPS data over the course of a week, relative to one's own mean, was associated...

Highlights:

Objective: To identify whether geolocation metrics, assessed through an app installed on adolescents' personal smartphones, could detect the risk of next-week suicidal events and clinically meaningful suicidal ideation.

Greater homestay (amount of time spent at home) on a given week, relative to one's own mean, was associated with 2-fold greater odds of suicidal events during the subsequent week (odds ratio, 1.99 [95% CI, 1.15-3.45]) [...] these findings offer a novel starting point for suicide prevention research, particularly as smartphone sensor data may have the capacity to identify who is at risk

They could look at why kids are suicidal and try to fix those things in society, but no, just let everything continue to go to shit and fuck anyone suffering so much that death seems preferable.
Or hey here's someone that's suicidal and really wants out, let's help them at least make it peaceful. No f them stay and suffer because life is precious. Or some shit
